enough about the unreleased, how about the released betas/prototypes?

Does anyone know a huge detail about unreleased games that were actually released to the public? (for my personal question) were there any playstation ones? These are examples of what I'm talking about:

NES:
Earthbound Zero
California Raisins

Genesis:
Ninja Gaiden (SEGA version)

SNES:
Batman Revenge of the Joker
Starfox 2

Game Gear:
Mortal Kombat 3

Saturn
Return Fire

Dreamcast
Half Life
PBA Bowling 01
Propeller Arena
Flintstones Viva Las Rock Vegas Racing
Worms Pinball (not released but confirmed as prototype on ebay)

any more?

 

PC-Engine:
Space Fantasy Zone

 

Playstation most of all thrill kill, castlevania beta for dreamcast was supposedly released on a french site sold on a cdr, in fact ive seen it for d/l on a hub so im going to check it out when its a faster speed, as for a good amount of infor, it take a bit of time to explain alot of these, but i do know lostlevels.org has info alot of those games listed with the full scoop on why they wrent released.

 

I have thrill kill, for psx

 

This was released by TecToy in the Master System. TecToy "ported" lots of GameGear games to the Master System, so i think you can say Mortal Kombat 3 was released.

 

mortal komat 3 for the gamgear was released in europe i bought it when it came out. pretty good game as well.

 

really?

SilverBolt: any scans on the actual MK3 GG cartidge/box, etc

sayin999: is the Castlevania rip on DC real?

Actually, I remember a while ago, on these boards, some guy was bragging about finished versions of Madden 96 on PSX and Clayfighter Xtreme. What happened to that?

 

These are the prototype games that are available on the net which I have seen, or more often then not have played (I've left out demos that were released for games that never made it out as I don't think thats what you want to know about, as well as return Fire for saturn as I don't think its actualy floating around the net yet even though several people are confirmed to have it in the community. Also, if one of the games listed was released, then im talking about its prototype as I don't care to write the word 'beta' after almost evertything):

as for the rip being real im not sure yet, i attemted to d/l it but it was so damn slow, but i might give it another try, as for sega ninja gaiden i could swon it was released in japan? cause i know the big fan site for it on classic gaiming has a little section and review on it.

 

Don't forget that Clockwork Knight Bomberman game for Saturn.

 

I have a special Bomberman game for the PC Engine that was unreleased. I should burn it to a CD one day and try it out.

Yakumo

 

Here's some boxart

 

As for Return Fire Saturn, the owner of h..p://www.sega-network.de/ got the game from Profilic Publishing inc. He was trying to release it, officially with their agreement.
But finally, they were not alowed anymore... u can read the whole story in german here:

wow really?!

We are talking about games that have been relesed for anyone to download you know...

 

I'm assuming that's irony, since Thrill Kill has been available online for years...

Sonic Crackers is missing from the list. Or Sonic Studium if you're going to pay attention to the ROM header.

 

I have Madden, although I have no idea how complete it is, or even how well it plays. I know someone with another as well. I don't know of anyone claiming to have Clayfighter, although that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

 

Was Theme Park for the SEGA CD released in any country?

go to the old archives, don't forget to bookmark the adress, and enjoy!

 

that knuckles chaotix test on Meegadrive you mean?

 

Thrill Kill for PSX was a very popular game in the Mexican Pirate market, back when few of us here had the means to download or burn PSX ISOs.

I don't really know anyone who has it, but I'm sure I've seen, and still regularly see, many copies in the black market.
I should go one of these days, and stuff.
